ACM 418: iPhone 8 Face Scanning, Hackintosh 101

I disagree, especially if this is your first one. Even after the hardware is finished, it could take 4 to 8 hours of tweaking to get your first one working. After you figure out Unibeast and Multibeast, then the 2nd and third ones might go quite faster, especially if you use the same hardware for each build.

A related note: I fully support Jeff’s assertion that using a real Mac with Unibeast and MultiBeast to create a bootable install drive.

There is another solution called Yosemite zone that is pre-designed to be ready to install Yosemite on any reasonably-compatible hardware, although it is not perfect.

After installing YZ on a couple of machines, however, my anti-virus software started reporting that pieces installed in YZ are viruses / malware. I am not a virus expert, but I have to trust my AV software. So, I cannot recommend that solution.
